I'm not sure if this is an installer, kudzu, or Xconfigurator bug... but the cause looks to be the same. Description of Problem: The installer recognizes my Diamond Multimedia Systems FIRE GL 1000 PRO card as a ELSA Gloria Synergy card (with only 512k of memory!). After installation, /etc/sysconfig/hwconf contains (among other entries): class: VIDEO bus: PCI detached: 0 driver: Card:ELSA GLoria Synergy desc: "Texas Instruments|TVP4020 [Permedia 2]" vendorId: 104c deviceId: 3d07 subVendorId: 1092 subDeviceId: 0146 pciType: 1 However, lspci -v shows me (among other entries): 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Texas Instruments TVP4020 [Permedia 2] (rev $ Subsystem: Diamond Multimedia Systems FIRE GL 1000 PRO Flags: bus master, 66Mhz, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 11 Memory at e6800000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=128K] Memory at e6000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=8M] Memory at e5800000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=8M] Expansion ROM at e77f0000 [disabled] [size=64K] Capabilities: [40] AGP version 1.0 Running Xconfigurator with the --card "Diamond Fire GL 1000 PRO" option works beautifully, and corrects the problem... but it would be nice to have this card recognized automatically, even in the installer. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): RC1 Thanks, Joshua Jensen
When in the installer, can you go to VC2 and run ddcprobe? It would be helpful if you could attach the output of that.
Ok... ddcprobe provides: VESA 2.0 detected. OEM Name: PERMEDIA2. Memory installed = 8 * 64k blocks = 512kb Supported standard modes: 640x400x256 640x400x256 EDID read no supported by video card. Joshua
This problem still exists in RC2.
Bill -- the pcitable in kudzu is mapping to the non-generic card here
That's not a problem; it doesn't need to go to the specific entry.
Actually, Bill just made this change in kudzu
